Bartig powers Orange victory
BALTIMORE — Senior midfielder Max Bartig generated a career-best three goals, and the No. 2 Syracuse Orange defeated No. 7 Johns Hopkins 10-7 in a nonconference men's lacrosse game Saturday at Homewood Field.
Stephen Keogh and Jeremy Thompson each contributed a pair of goals as the Orange (4-1) registered its fourth consecutive win over the host Blue Jays (4-3), and fifth in the last six meetings between the teams.
Syracuse, which has won two straight following a one-goal loss March 7 to Virginia, led by as many as seven in the second half when Keogh notched his second goal.
Johns Hopkins, though, responded by burying four consecutive scores to pull within 8-5. Steven Boyle led the Blue Jays with two goals and two assists.
SU's ability to control faceoffs (14-for-20) and take advantage of man-up chances (2-2) also contributed to the win. Cody Jamieson was successful in seven of 10 faceoff opportunities.
The Orange travels Tuesday for its next game, a 7 p.m. meeting at Geneva against Hobart.
